I have the 20 ton and I am very happy with it. I wouldn't expect the 50ton to be any worse.

I'm probably going to pick one of these up in the next couple months. Any issues with yours? I've heard the arbor plates kinda suck, but I hopefully won't use it for anything crazy. Just wheel bearings and the like.

No issues so far, but I have never used a better one so I have nothing to compare it to. It had worked fine so far for removing all the control arm bushings. Trying to figure out a way to press out rear bearings next. Then I need someone to help me hold my diff so I can press out those bushings.

No problems here, either, other than wishing I had an air over hydraulic ram for it. Used it several times for wheel hubs and bearings. Surprisingly heavy duty for what it is.

they still work okayish, but for some reason the glue doesn't dry anywhere near as effectively as the ones I got before. kinda annoying, since it's like 100F here, way hotter than the time I used the last set

So I finally got around to my Harbor Freight 90a welder project. Pretty simple stuff - routed the power on the far side of the main transformer through a 150a 1200v bridge rectifier, to convert the AC to DC. Mounted the rectifier on the outside of the case for better cooling.

Sent the positive and negative output from the rectifier to a bank of three 63v 22000uF capacitors, wired in parallel, with a 10w 150ohm bleed resistor.

Electrode was wired to negative, ground clamp to positive. I also added a 90mm computer fan for better cooling.

Total cost for this whole operation, including the cost of the welder, was less that $90. For that money, and for my hobby needs, I suspect this is going to be a capable little machine. Now I guess I have to weld something!

They're usable, but pretty darn bad. The only thing I've used them for are TSE 2-piece rotors, and it was a pain. I'm used to using very legit pliers from aircraft spruce, so maybe it's just me. But you kind of have to assist the pliers to twist, and assist them to retract. They also don't clamp very evenly so you have to make sure you're clamping the wire in the spot that actually makes contact.

I used my pair for a very long time before they finally stabbed me bad enough that I made sure my Tetanus shot was up to date. I bought an ~$80 pair on Amazon that are reversible and they are only slightly better. A nice pair ($100++) is on my want list. For your use, the HF pliers are totally fine.

Just received a flyer in mail with a super coupon on this. $399 with coupon. There arent any reviews on their site yet. It appears to be a WEN 56200i and they have great reviews on amazon. The engine is a copy of the yamaha and very quiet.
